| <Loudon Wainwright III> page <Older Than My Old Man Now> album page |
Over The HillOnce you were a young manNow you are old, you're over the hill You can't cross the palm of time's hand Silver and gold to make him stand still Who could've possibly thought It would go so fast But it certainly did Now, you find yourself caught With less future than past You're no longer a kid Once as a boy time weighted heavy on your hands You couldn't wait to be a man Now you cry, oh, it's so hard to laugh And you can't understand Why you can't turn time around Your hourglass once had a top half It was filled full of sand But it's all trickled down |
